Are you
here because you're looking for the baseball rule about
a dropped third strike? Here it is, from the official rule-book:

"6.09 The batter becomes a runner when ...
(b) the third strike called by the umpire is not caught,
providing (1) first base is unoccupied, or (2) first
base is occupied with two out.

"When a batter becomes a base runner
on a third strike not caught by the catcher and starts
for the dugout, or his position, and then realizes his
situation and attempts to reach first base, he is not
out unless he or first base is tagged before he reaches
first base. If, however, he actually reaches the dugout
or dugout steps, he may not then attempt to go to first
base and shall be out."
